Boku no Hero... Kimetsu... Jujutsu... They're all the same, that is they're all nu-shounen trash that WILL end and WILL inevitably fade away with time.

Jump can try and produce mega hits all they want, but they will never produce another eternal cashcow that can rake in tons of cash again anytime soon. Dragon Ball?Naruto? One Piece? Bleach? They will outlast them all.

I wonder how demon slayers will care against the big ones. It obviously will lose absolute numbers but I wonder if it can take bleach spot as most profitable

Bleach really isn't iconic. Didn't the original manga just abruptly end? I don't know what it's up to these days.

Yeah the ending wasn't the best, but it will be fixed and improved in the anime.

I believe that only KnY will survive for a long time.
In fact, it has already been four years since this manga ended, but it still maintains top-class popularity.
Imo, the two major shounen series that will be remembered as symbols of this generation are SnK and KnY.

Astro Boy and Devilman still influences manga to this day, though. BnHA, KnY and JJK won't because they don't have a single original idea of its own to.

Dumbass retard
KnY- jojo's influence is far greater than the captains-with-swords from bleach
BC- naruto's influence is everywhere compared to the "edgy demon aura hero" from bleach
JJK- fair enough but the influences of yyh and hxh are there as much as bleach

So true. Nu-Shounen like JJK is FOMO/FOTM garbage that nobody is going to be nostalgic about 10 years from now.

Mid slayer is trash tho
>>
>>269221745
i wouldn't say trash but yeah is kinda mid, just like dragon ball after Z.
we're not talking bout subjetive things like good or bad, we're talking about numbers. and demons slayer indeed have the potencial to force himself in themost lucrative shounen of all time

To be honest Kimetsu is better than all chapters of DB except for the Saiyan Saga.
In DB there is no tension because even if an ally character dies, they can be quickly revived with the Dragon Balls.
The Saiyans (and occasionally Piccolo) are always at the forefront, making many of the characters meaningless.
Additionally, the battles are repetitive because the characters suddenly awaken to a new power-up form during the fight, become clearly stronger than their enemy, and then just beat them up one-sidedly.
Only the Saiyan Saga deviates from this logic, giving many characters their moments to shine.
The battles didn't rely on power-up forms but instead used teamwork and tactics to repel Vegeta, making it worth reading.
>>
>>269222481
This.
Oldfags never admit it, but when you read Dragon Ball now, it's not that great.
It was certainly groundbreaking for 80-90s, though.

>To be honest Kimetsu is better than all chapters of DB except for the Saiyan Saga.

I like KnY, but to me it doesn't have even half th charm of pre-Z Dragon Ball. Back when it would alternate between an Adventure Arc and a Tournament Arc and the characters were just put into more fun situations and more interesting powers. That said, I do like KnY a lot precicelly because I like how teamwork often feels necessary as Tanjiro & Friends often can't beat Upper Moons alone, I definitelly think it's the best of the nu-Battle Shonen generation (KnY, BnHA, JJK, BC)

At the very least, techniques like the Kaioken, Instant Transmission, and Spirit Bomb should have been given to Krillin or Tien.
It was a poor decision for Goku to monopolize even those technical skills that Earthlings could also master.

Wrong.
>DB there is no tension because even if an ally character dies, they can be quickly revived with the Dragon Balls
Death is not the only thing that can make a plot full of MuH tEnSiOn. Clearly, you really do not know how good writing works because you're exposed to low class entertainment that uses death as a shortcut route to make people "sad" because muh favorite character or to shake viewers off because oh somebody is kill.
>The Saiyans (and occasionally Piccolo) are always at the forefront, making many of the characters meaningless.
And that's a good thing. Humans are cannon fodder in the DBverse, at least Toriyama realizes it and doesn't bother going the pro-human masterrace 40k route. Either humans go transhuman like 17 and 18, or they breed with the Saiyans to compete. It's more realistic that way to show that humanity is weak in the grand scale of power levels. Not every character are equal, and that's what DB got right.
>Additionally, the battles are repetitive
Kimetsu's battles are more repetitive than DB's. At least DB cuts to the chase and respects your Time. Kimetsu's fights are:
- Demon shows up and MC struggles
- MC has a flashback and asspulls a new ability
- Demon starts losing and a sob story ensues when demon is about to die and goes to hell
- Hero wins sustaining damage
And Kimetsu's final arc cranks it up to eleven by awkwardly trying to fit in every character's sob stories.
>The battles didn't rely on power-up forms but instead used teamwork and tactics to repel Vegeta, making it worth reading.
Frieza is the only villain that gets beat by a power-up form. Both Cell and Buu were beat by teamwork.
>>

>nooo i hate powerup form
>nooo character must be given a role and contribute to the main character's team

Why zoomers are like this?
Simce HxH popularized the soft seinen, Jump lost the soul of shonen.
If DB had stories where Goku used teamwork with Krillin and Tien to defeat Frieza or Cell, it wouldn't have become as big as it did.

This is actually a good thing because trying to constantly make eternal cash-cows is what's been killing Western comics for decades.

Why not read some Seinen where the entire story isn't just characters beating up other characters all the time?
>>
>>269223379
>Cell was beaten by teamwork.
Wait, what?
Are you really calling Goku moving the self-destructing Cell to King Kai's planet and Vegeta slightly distracting Cell "teamwork"?
>>
>>269223691
Why shouldn't it count, though? He had Gohan at the until Vegeta distracted him at the last second, giving Gohan the chance to use all his power.
>>
>>269223691
Cell arc story is aweful.
Basically a rip-off of Terminator, and besides Gohan's SS2 being kino, that's all.

Tbf, DB was using same method to bring tension until Saiyan arc.
At that time, Piccolo’s death was actually hinted at, so it served its purpose.
However, everything that followed became a farce.

>>269218137
JJK started as a Naruto clone but that one you didn't notice lol
>>
>>269223946
nta but it doesn't count. Nobody could hurt Cell except for the lad with the new hyper super ultra power up, it wasn't teamwork that won, it was the power up.
